Subsistence  Department, 

Richmond,  Sept.  13,  1862. 

Brigade  and  other  Commissaries  who  make  sales  to  officers,  will  use 
the  money  thus  obtained  to  make  prompt  payment  of  the  commutation 
of  rations  due  furlough  men,  or  other  soldiers  whose  rations  are  due,  and 
may,  according  to  the  Eegulations,  be  commuted  within  their  respective 
brigades  or  districts,  at  the  rate  of  thirty-three  cents  per  diem.  The  ac- 
counts must  state  the  length  of  time,  date,  amount,  and  circumstances 
under  which  the  commutation  is  made,  to  be  certified  by  the  commanders 
of  companies  or  commissioned  officers  under  whose  orders  the  soldier 
was  at  the  time  the  rations  became  due. 

Regimental  Commissaries  having  funds  in  their  hands,  and  without 
opportunity  to  disburse  as  above  authorized,  will  turn  it  over  to  Brigade 
or  Post  Commissaries.
